As a produced TV and magazine writer, it would also allow me to continue to make a living at my craft providing content for what I am passionate about, rather than taking on another gig pushing organic diapers for $5 bucks a post to elite parents with kids named after cities and house plants whose feeeeeelings define the universe.<\/p>\n<p>My concern, of course, is that I don\u2019t come of predatory. A big reason I don\u2019t have blog ads here is that I am not a fan of the whole \u201cOooooh, your son is having seizure like face tics? Click on my ad for magnesium so I can make 5 cents on a click-through and you can waste money on a supplement that may or may not work.) For the record: Love the magnesium!
